THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)

The hard lessons of experience have taught us that not everyone gets a tape in the mix-exchanges, through the nastinesses of the postal system or the laziness of members of this community, but there comes a time when you've gotta cut your losses and run. And I think it's been long enough. In this thread shalt ye sign up for round three of the mix-exchange. You know the drill: post your forum name, your location, and what you can send and recieve (tapes or cd's). Signing up will run until I get back from my vacation on Friday. I'll do the sorting and list-making duties this round.
...Right, I'm in.

Indeed it is time. I'm In. Perhaps we should have a theme this or possibly next time.

I can likely throw together a mix real quick as I still have tons of packages left that I made around the time of the first trade, because I was bored.
-
NOTE TO KHAR: Don't have Sean send to me or me to Sean. That would suck because we live within 20 minutes walk of eachother, plus he's heard most of my music and I a lot of his. So yeah.

and pistachio did you actually ever send me a mix cd or not last round cause if you didnt bother you should soooo not be allowed to enter this round ..... i mean it's unfair when you spend valuable postage money and effort sending other people mixtapes and your patner doesnt even bother :(
-
I'd like to take part.. and i've kinda figured out whats supposed to happen.. but can someone please clarify?

Alright. I've got a very basic tracklist. My mix may be a bit short, but this is somewhat necessary to retain the narrative I'm trying to maintain. Most of this is relatively accessible stuff as far as indie goes, although I'm throwing in a few local bands for shits and giggles.
Now to add 3 to 5 more tracks and work on liner notes.
-
Though I am a dodgy quasi lurker, I shall take part if possible.

Hmm... that makes me angry, I totally made you a CD and wrapped it all up and wrote your address on it and everything, but unfortunately I was about to get on a plane to Texas and I asked someone to drop it at the post office for me... which it sounds like they didn't do... I'll give them a call and bitch and complain. If you don't get it by the end of the week or so, let me know and when I get home (on the 11th) I'll send it again.. kay? sorry!
-
Dear Mail Service/my mailman who may or may not hate us;
I have sent both of my people two packages and all of them have not shown up (I'll send it a third time, Azathoth, since i get like, 9000 free cds anyways and need to waste some). Don't mess it up this time Mailman!

Third time lucky eh?
I'm wondering if NZ customs keeps turning them away cos mine didn't get here yet and I know that my partner sent it. Oh well, maybe this time.
EDIT: Forgot the country
-
Have you had a chance to listen to my mix yet McTaggart? I'm asking here since this thread obviously surplants the old response thread.

awwww im sorry for getting all uppity then I just felt unloved but thats all good it could also be the dodgy postal gods working against us .... who knows but yeah yay for a NEW mix-tape round
-
I want to say i'm in but i have a horrible feeling the next few weeks are going to be hectic, due to university and flat moving ness.
Aw hell, i can fit one in.

Last time I recieved an import CD from Australia it had a huge sticker on it saying 'DELAYED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AVIATION SECURITY REGULATIONS' and also took a very long time to come. Don't know if that has any implications, may be an antipodean thing.
Submissions are open until midnight GMT. If we have an odd number at that time the first person to apply afterwards gets in.
Then I'll sort out a list and whatnot after that. Also, anyone know a better randomiser than http://www.counton.org/explorer/randomiser/? I could swear I had one on my PC, but I can't find it.
-
Pulling names out of a hat works wonders.
-
Well, I don't own a hat.
28 entrants. Entry closed. I'll sort out ZE LIST shortly.
-
Right. This should accomodate everyone's needs.

Let me know if you want moving and I'll scoot it round. Send your mix to the guy below you, recieve from the guy above. The list loops round so El Opium sends to Kikanjuuneko.
-
Sorry, I'm too poor to send whatnots overseas as well. Would it not be easier if we all used some sort of file transfer program-type-thingy? Just a thought.
-
you can't do thatttttttttttt!!!!!
takes all the fun out of it. the novelty of receiving packages in the mail and the chance to do things like making cd cases is an integral part of the experience.
-
I am not too good at the making of the CD case, but I love making mixes, and especially when it is for something like this. I am quite excited to both send and receive.
Although Sythe, you could just see if the person receiving from you will accept it in a .zip format emailed.
-
OH GEEZ!
I KNEW I'd be sending to sp2~ This is going to be Soooo funny.
By funny I mean terrifying.
*shakes in her boots*
-
Is it too late to get in?
-
"Can send to: Anywhere in the US"
Erm, yeah. I couldn't send to Johnny.
Ah, he's in Canada. He should have made it explicit. I'll move you.
@ Menza: Yup. You had a week!
-
Khar have mercy!
I've been waiting for round 3 to come around since my lovely partner from round 2 went M.I.A.
please please let me in!
i promise the mix will kick much assitude!
-
Right, right.
Since both you and Menza wanted in, I have added you. BUT THAT IS THE LAST!
You may now send your addresses to the guy sending to you.
-
I'll probably get to do some this time round too. The trick is to get it the mix done before the madness of university starts.
-
bump
-
Mine is going into the post today :)
-
^ Mine goes into the post tomorrow.
-
whaaaaat's happening everyone?
this thread just seems to have gone kinda quiet, is all. i'm working on my mix at the moment (it's sort of complicated. track order is half the battle), hopefully it'll be ready to go by the end of the weekend.
so, s'happening?
-
oh dam that sounds like awesome fun i totally missed out :( ill totally do it next round how often do u do these things ???

I've got my allowance, so I can afford air-mail. Hopefully I'll get it done and sent off this weekend, if I can pick time between my required reading and the couple of essays I have to finish this weekend.
-
Mine's going out tomorrow.
It's sort of short, but whatever.
-
I've recieved's Sturge's mix at my home address so that's about to be sent up to my uni address. Menzallol's mix is done but i haven't had to time to do the sleeve stuff yet. It'll be most likely sent off by the end of next week. :)
-
I got Mnementh's mix in the mail! Okay, it was from round two, but I figured I'd post about it in this one so as not to cause confusion. I'll put up the track list and compliments soon-ish.
-
Oh my God. I completely forgot about this thread.
Forgive my grievous error.
-
I covered mine for Sturge in stamps. No idea if he got it, or if there was enough postage.
-
I am just making mine.
I shall post it on monday, or tomorrow, if the post office is open, but I don't think it is.
I never heard from the guy who was supposed to be sending me mine. Poo. I think next time there should be a 'regs or trusted Mix tape senders only' rule or something.
I dunno.
I'll make the feedback thread, in case anyone needs it.
-
Due to a series of bad things befalling my computer, my mix did NOT go out last Friday. It looks like things are fixed now, so I should have mine in the mail by tuesday.
-
Awkward silence will need the feedback thread soon because I just sent mine out. Milkman hasn't even asked for my address yet. I am prepared to give it to him.
-
Hey sp2,
I've been having a few problems lately so haven't managed to make your cd yet, rest assured you WILL receive one though.. Just may be a little later. Sorry about that.
Also, my person hasnt gotten back to me either, Saturine I think it is, but I sent them my address anyway, I hope I get a mix... Wishful thinking :)
-
No problem. It happens to all of us. I had some problems with my CD burning software, myself.
-
I just totally fuckign remembered this was happening and that I was in it.
-
seems like most everyone is a little out of it this time around, including myself, I need to get my ass in gear.
-
I haven't gotten one yet though I PMed my address when they asked...
The person I was to do one for never got back to me with their address, so basically nothing has happened either way :\
-
I sent mine about a week and a half after the list was announcified.
-
I still haven't sent mine (Or even made one yet, for that matter) because I procrastinate like it's 1995, bitches. Although I'll send you the info, SILENCIO
-
Yeah, don't worry about it. As long as you get around to it this year (maybe next) I'm good. I still havn't heard if Sturge got mine in. I don't think it was the right amt. of postage... Maybe...
-
I haven't got it yet :(
-
My mix is off to Sweden.
-
I am a lazy bastard. This week, though! I promise!
-
yo Sp2, any word on my mix yet?
-
BUMP!
Has my mix arrived yet Kikanjuuneko? Also SP2 have you mailed mine yet?
I'm not doing anymore of these trades if I don't get something this time.
-
Sorry, I should've resent it sooner. I didn't get a return-to-sender, so I'm going to assume the USPS stole my fucking mix! Much apologies, Sturge.
-
I mailed mine over a week ago! Hope it arrives safely o.o
I haven't even had word from the guy who was supposed to be sending me one. I think I basically jinxed this by organising it.
-
Crap. I need to get mine out in the mail. Sorry, Reno!
-
BUMP!!!
Yeah it's me again *waves* I've been lurking on and off because I couldn't find the time to be active anymore... Real life and such, you know. So now I'm back for a quick visit, and I'm wondering: what's going on with this? I haven't received anything yet... Should I assume it got lost, or, what? I know for a fact that mine got to its destination...
So, what's up here? Or are my worries premature?
-
I don't think SP2 has sent mine. Have you gotten mine yet kikanjuuneko? It's been a fair while since I sent it.
-
Yeah, I got yours. Very nice. Very original.
-
I still lack CD ;_;
-
Yo, Danmanmilk! Have you sent mine yet?
If we ever do this again I so qualify for premium membership. 3 mixes, 3 satisfied customers.
-
As long as you're here, why don't you talk about my mix, Awkward. Make the people excited for the mixtrade again.
